bodies strewn across the open meeting hall floor.
sleeping restlessly amongst each other.
family, friends, strangers, together.
mattresses sound with every move.
little brother cannot sleep.
big brother cares. they get a drink.
a cough. a whisper. silence. dad begins snoring.
door creaks. i am the chaperone. i am the host.
gurgling? giggles. whispers. snoring. LOUD snoring!
it is going to be a long night. more snoring. giggles.
the cycle continues. i am smiling. really long night ahead.
